PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Viticulture is facing increasing challenges due to climate change. The focus on fast growth and sweet berries has come at the expense of stress resilience. Grafting onto Phylloxera‐resistant rootstocks from American species has been the most successful form of ecological pest management.

Induction of Cytokines by Glucosyltransferases ofStreptococcus mutans [PDF]
Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2002 ABSTRACTProduction of proinflammatory cytokines is implicated in the pathogenesis of viridans streptococcus-induced α-streptococcal shock syndrome and infective endocarditis.Streptococcus mutans, one of the opportunistic pathogens causing infective endocarditis, was reported previously to stimulate monocytes and epithelial and endothelial cells in ...

Plant Glycosides and Glycosidases: A Treasure-Trove for Therapeutics
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Plants contain numerous glycoconjugates that are metabolized by specific glucosyltransferases and hydrolyzed by specific glycosidases, some also catalyzing synthetic transglycosylation reactions.

Phylogenetic analysis of glucosyltransferases and implications for the coevolution of mutans streptococci with their mammalian hosts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Glucosyltransferases (Gtfs) catalyze the synthesis of glucans from sucrose and are produced by several species of lactic-acid bacteria. The oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans produces large amounts of glucans through the action of three Gtfs.

Small Science, EarlyView.Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) offer versatile platforms for enzyme immobilization to overcome their inherent fragility. However, challenges such as restricted conformation and mass transfer limitations remain. Advances in precise MOF design can help overcome these obstacles, expanding their applicability across diverse fields, highlighting the ...

Structure and mechanism of the ER-based glucosyltransferase ALG6
Nature, 2020 In eukaryotic protein N-glycosylation, a series of glycosyltransferases catalyse the biosynthesis of a dolichylpyrophosphate-linked oligosaccharide before its transfer onto acceptor proteins1. The final seven steps occur in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and require dolichylphosphate-activated mannose and glucose as donor substrates2.

Cell-wall glycolipid mutations and their effects on virulence of E. faecalis in a rat model of infective endocarditis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Enterococci are among the major pathogens implicated in cardiac infections and biofilm formation. E. faecalis has been shown to play an important role in infectious endocarditis. Several distinct mechanisms for biofilm formation have been identified in E.
